7-YEAR-OLD BOY FINDS $8000 ON SLIDE

A 7-year-old boy and his uncle were at a Salem, Massachusetts, park when they found $8,000 at the top of a sliding board. Aiden Wright and his uncle Danny Wright found the money while playing at Memorial Park this past Saturday. Aiden found a checkbook with some personal papers and an unsealed envelope containing $100 bills. After counting the money in his truck, Uncle Danny explained to Aiden to “treat people the way you would want to be treated.” Aiden “happily” agreed to take the money to the police station. The Salem Police Department managed to reach Elias Santos, the owner of the money. Santos arrived at the police station with his two young sons and rewarded Aiden with $100.
* And that’s how playground drug dealer Elias Santos was able to pay his supplier and avoid getting killed.
* Just kidding. Just a joke. Please don’t sue me, Mr. Santos.
* Or send your drug goons after me.
* KIDDING!
* Why did Uncle Danny count the money if he just planned to return it?
* Because he was thinking it over … that’s why.
* Okay, where did you really find the money?
* I think we all learned a lesson here today. If you find money don’t tell anyone – not even your own uncle.
* Now Aiden’s going to have to live with this lost opportunity for the rest of his life.
* Aiden learned a new word today. “Chump.”
* Such complicated emotions for the uncle. On the one hand, if only he hadn’t been with his nephew, he could have kept the money. On the other hand, without his nephew, he wouldn’t have been at the playground. Just a bad situation all the way around.
* Saddest person in this story? The kid who was next in line to use the slide.
